Romeo was for sure scared to tell Juliet because once she knew his name, she would find out that he was a Montague and he thought she would no longer love him, because of the dispute with the two families. So when she asks him what his name is, he says he doesn't want to tell her, and would rather have any other name rather than not be loved by her.

When she asks who he is, he says:

By a name

I know not how to tell thee who I am.

My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself

Because it is an enemy to thee.

Had I it written, I would tear the word.
